Description
In my kitchen, tacos are like pasta. Flexible. This recipe is just one of a hundred different ways you can fix them. Most families enjoy the ease and simplicity of a good taco night. Buy a thick piece of fish and cut it into uniform pieces that will cook evenly, without dry- ing out. You can use the DIY Corn Tortillas on pages 105–6 or store-bought tortillas.
Ingredients
- for the fish
- 11⁄4 pounds skinless fish fillets (any variety), 1 inch thick
- 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet paprika 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- for the beans
- Two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet paprika 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- for the fish
- 1. Rinse the fish fillets and pat dry. Season with the salt, pepper, and paprika.
